EdgeInsets class

An immutable set of offsets in each of the four cardinal directions.

Typically used for an offset from each of the four sides of a box. For example, the padding inside a box can be represented using this class.

The EdgeInsets class specifies offsets in terms of visual edges, left, top, right, and bottom. These values are not affected by the TextDirection. To support both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts, consider using EdgeInsetsDirectional, which is expressed in terms of start, top, end, and bottom, where start and end are resolved in terms of a TextDirection (typically obtained from the ambient Directionality).

Here are some examples of how to create EdgeInsets instances:

Typical eight-pixel margin on all sides:

const EdgeInsets.all(8.0)

Eight pixel margin above and below, no horizontal margins:
const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8.0)

Left margin indent of 40 pixels:
const EdgeInsets.only(left: 40.0)

Methods

add(EdgeInsetsGeometry other) EdgeInsetsGeometry
Returns the sum of two EdgeInsetsGeometry objects. [...]
override
copyWith({double left, double top, double right, double bottom }) EdgeInsets
Creates a copy of this EdgeInsets but with the given fields replaced with the new values.
deflateRect(Rect rect) Rect
Returns a new rect that is smaller than the given rect in each direction by the amount of inset in each direction. Specifically, the left edge of the rect is moved right by left, the top edge of the rect is moved down by top, the right edge of the rect is moved left by right, and the bottom edge of the rect is moved up by bottom. [...]
inflateRect(Rect rect) Rect
Returns a new rect that is bigger than the given rect in each direction by the amount of inset in each direction. Specifically, the left edge of the rect is moved left by left, the top edge of the rect is moved up by top, the right edge of the rect is moved right by right, and the bottom edge of the rect is moved down by bottom. [...]
resolve(TextDirection direction) EdgeInsets
Convert this instance into an EdgeInsets, which uses literal coordinates (i.e. the left coordinate being explicitly a distance from the left, and the right coordinate being explicitly a distance from the right). [...]

subtract(EdgeInsetsGeometry other) EdgeInsetsGeometry
Returns the difference between two EdgeInsetsGeometry objects. [...]
override
along(Axis axis) double
